Re: Orient

More of the same McMahon, the team just cannot defend from set-pieces. Game after game last season, now with different defenders doing the same thing. Stop giving stupid free kicks away is half the problem. Get a defence coach in the club and teach them, obviously McMahon can’t

Re: Friendly still on tonight?

Apparently McMahon mentioned in his interview that Balanta tripped over a blade of grass or something and another player had a collapsed lung, which is quite serious of course. Even though l have played the recording back several times, l still have not got the faintest clue who he was talking about...

Re: Friendly still on tonight?

The club had been its normal ‘keep mushrooms in the dark about injured players. Balanta walking around on crutches and not a peep out of the club of what is injury or how long he is likely to be out. Also what about our other lame duck, Harry Phipps ! Don’t recall Zouma having a game or minutes yet ...

Re: New Signing Pending

Yes, still waiting for Mr McMahon’s staggering array of summer signings, while other clubs in our league our boast of anything up to 6-7 new players we have potentially one lame duck. With last season’s contracts now expired, l was rather hoping (falsely obviously) of plenty of news today

George Saunders

I note from from his interview that he hopes to be fit by sometime in October/November. I sincerely hope that we have not got another Zavon Hines situation here, whereby he was never fit enough to play for us again and we ended paying up the contract. In particular l note the club have given George ...

Re: New Signing Pending

Looks like a gamble signing, particularly with a history of injuries. Without doubt not experienced enough for what we should be looking for if we want to compete at the top of the table. Young rookies are for back-ups, not for a fit in the middle spine of the team. Also l note Comley has gone to Wa...

Callum Reynolds

I note ‘Mr Average’ has left to join Bromley. Good luck to him. We need far bigger, stronger defenders than him in the team. Seen him stand of watch the opposition players head goals from set-plays while he stands and watches. At least it’s another player we will know the weakness when we play them....

Re: Sagaf

I agree with this comment. With the money that has been available to Daryl you would have thought we would have made a far bigger impact on this league. Unfortunately it seems he has wasted far too much money in getting in ‘average Joe players” who have made little impact.

Re: Yoan Zouma

Can’t believe that West Hsm have picked Kurt Zouma for tonight’s match against Watford. Dagenham & Redbridge l am sure would not have done that !

Re: Spennymoor

Went to Spennymoor to watch Ilford play in the Rothman’s Cup Competition on the 21st February 1976. It was a long drive from Ilford on a damp and foggy day. Ilford won 2-0, with a side that included John Still and Tony Bass, who in fact scored one of the goals. Waited 48 years to see this team play ...

Re: Crucial Week.

Totally agree the above. With Rance and or Jones in the side we look a far more meaningful team. When the likes of Morias and Akanbi are in the team we do play and look like an extremely average team. Now Walker is fit and McCallum could be nearly ready to return, the likes of Morias and Akanbi shou...

Re: Time for Daryl to go?

Where do you start............... Appalling recruitment. Signing a complete bunch of players that quite obviously other teams do not want, including players with a known history of injuries, ie Walker and Jones and we are now suffering because of this. Chronic team selection, having to change the te...
